“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“Jaideep and his family took excellent care of our 6-month-old, Atlas, while we were on a family vacation. He kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and detailed check-ins. We’ll definitely be using his services again in the near future.”
“De'Andre and Robert were so good to Milo ! I highly recommend them for pet sitting. They sent pictures several times in a day just so you know how your furry kid is doing. We were confident that our dog was safe and being well taken care of !”

“Our Puppers just loved hanging out with Kathy! Tucker become her lap dog and Daisy made herself right at home in her well puppy proofed home. They loved their time outside with her and watching squirrels from her back patio window. We will definitely use her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Her name suits her well. She was an angel to my moochi. She was very prompt with the responses as well as updating me of moochi is doing. She sends me photos which i think is really nice. When i went to pick him up, he was very energetic and i could tell that he enjoyed his stay. I would highly recommend angel.”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Sowmya and her family. They were very communicative during her stay and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely have our dog stay with them again!”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“This was first time Timmy, our 5 year jackapoo, was ever away from home without us. Timmy is very much attached to us and we’re very protective of him. My mother-in-law just turned 100 and my wife arranged a large family gathering for a 4 Day Florida celebration where her mother resides. We scheduled a meet snd greet with Amy and Patrick, Timmy and ourselves. We immediately felt that Timmy would be in good hands and Amy and Patrick disappoint. We received pictures and videos daily of Timmy on walks, playing and at bedtime. They followed our directions for feeding and treats to the letter! We highly recommend Amy and Patrick if you are looking for loving and caring folks to take care of doggie while you are away. They’re the best!”
“We can’t thank Marinda and her family enough for taking such good care of Latte for us. I would recommend her to anyone. She was so easy to work with concerning times of pick up. We will definitely be using her on our next trip in November.”
“We are always glad to have Reese spend time with Bobbi and family. He receives impeccable care with every stay! We are truly blessed to have such a thoughtful caregiver for our Reese!”
“I felt very good about the care I was receiving from videos and pictures. I felt max was in good hands and it showed a very well organised house with a fenced in yard in the back. I will definitely use him again. Thanks again”
“This was the first time nebula are captain we're going to be at a house with children so I was very nervous. But they did amazing! Amanda did great watching them, I also got an adorable picture of the two of them too!”
“Very welcoming & made my fur baby feel right at home! Communication was prompt and received updates with photos. Above & beyond service. Will definitely book again and refer to others. Thank you!”
“Steffany was so incredibly welcoming of myself and Tito. During our meet and greet, Tito got to meet their dog Padme and seemed to get along very well with her. Steffany said Tito had a really nice time playing with Padme and her son and enjoyed his stay. When he got home he took a long nap, so I have no doubt he was tired from a fun weekend. I will be using them again for future trips this year, thank you again!”
“Desire was wonderful with my Rosie! She is so attentive, caring, and trustworthy. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and happy sitting experience for their pup.”
“Anton was great. All was good. Professor is old and set in his ways, but he was obviously treated well and the photos & videos sent while he was there show him very happy. As far as I can see, there is no down side with leaving your Pet with Anton. We will definitely do it again.”

“Cassidy did an AMAZING job house sitting for our 2 kitties for the 10 days we were on vacation. She read all 9 pages of instructions even before our meet & greet and followed the intricate feeding requests for both kitties. Each needs different dry food for UTI prevention and weight management, 1 needs a probiotic, they get a different bedtime snack - Cassidy was a pro following everything and reached out when we needed to troubleshoot for one of the kitties. She played with their favorite toys, took the cutest photos, and really cared about them. Her kind and gentle demeanor made it so easy for them to get acclimated quickly. This was our longest time away from them, but I felt completely at peace and reassured they were in great hands. Cassidy also left the place looking immaculate when we got back. The trash was even clean and she put our mail on the counter. When we came back, the kitties looked completely content and came up to us like, ‘Who are you and where is Cassidy?’ lol. She did a wonderful job and we already have her booked for 2 more house sits this Summer!”
“Our animals were in great hands with Audrey! She was prompt at visitation times, very clear on her duties with them , and provided great communication with pictures daily while we were away. She’s a 10/10 !!”
“I had a great experience with Brandy. I was out of state for a few days, and was worried about leaving my cat for longer than I ever had before. Brandy was great, sending me daily updates and pictures of Beau during her drop-ins. It was very comforting to see him doing well. I would definitely hire Brandy again. Thanks Brandy!”
“Alyssa did a great job dropping in on our 4 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We felt comfortable that they were being well tended to. We appreciated the daily updates and photos!”
“Diana was wonderful with my 2 cats! One of my cats tends to be very loud with meows and hissing, but she had no problem with it and was still able to care for them well!”
“Matt is great. I spent several days out of country and Matt was taking cars of my dogs. He did fantastic job with dogs and with keeping me posted about dogs and things around the house. I recommend Matt and will use his service again in the future.”
“Ashley did a great job with my three cats. They were a little shy and timid, and Ashley had the patience to help them warm up slowly to her. She was also very good at following directions and remembering the little things I told her about my kitties.”
“Veronica was thorough and very attentive to the details to caring for my pet. I see did everything I asked her to do in caring for my pet and my pet and the surroundings looked great when I returned. It was an excellent experience with Veronica.”
“This was our second time having Quinn drop-in over several days to care for our cat, Oreo. As before, I felt very comfortable and confident entrusting Oreo to her care while we were away.”
“Jyllian was absolutely amazing as my cat sitter. I was away on an extended trip and was nervous about having to leave my cat for that long. She went above and beyond with updating me and provided very detailed summaries each day along with so many pictures which showed how much love she put into caring for my cat. Not only that, but she is a vet tech so that made me feel even more comfortable in case something went wrong. She truly has the biggest heart for animals and I would very easily recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much, Jyllian!!!!”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter. She took great care of my 8 month old kitten. She gave me updates with lots of pictures after every visit. And perhaps the best review came from my kitten who ran around the house looking for Jessica when I got home.”
“Clara has helped us out so many times with both of our pups. My girls absolutely loved her and got so excited to see her. My puppy had tummy issues and had an accident in her crate which got on herself, Clara was more then willing to give her a bath and clean out her crate so my pup wouldn’t have to sit in it all day! She’s amazing with communication and will respond quickly when she’s able too! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone to truly care about your animal while you’re gone!!”
“Pirate can be a very picky and stubborn indoor/outdoor cat. I used several cat sitters that were not able to form a bond with him. Amanda DID!!! She took such good care of our kitty while we were on vacation. It was so obvious Pirate loved her!!!! She provided pictures every night to let us know he was safe from the rural nights 😊 I felt totally at ease and was able to fully trust Amanda… and enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book her again. Thank you Amanda!”
About: I currently share my home with three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger (though they’d probably say they own me 😸). After 30+ years of cat ownership, I know that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and very strong opinions about routine. I’m comfortable caring for social cats, shy cats, senior cats, and those with medical needs. My cat Chewy has asthma, and I trained him to use an inhaler for his daily treatments, so I understand the patience and consistency some pets require. I stay on top of vet care, maintain pet insurance, and know how important it is to notice when something seems “off.” Whether your cat wants playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone who respects their space and routine, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care while you’re away.

“I had to make a last minute trip and was worried about my girl being alone since I wasn’t optimistic there would be anyone to take her as a last minute. Fortunately, Jaideep responded back quickly and said he’d take care of her. The communication was great and he sent many pictures and updates throughout the day. My Luna looked like she was having a blast and looked calm. I will definitely be asking for Jaideep’s help with Luna again in the future.”
“Sujeong and Changsun (and Gucci) provided such excellent care for my pup, Jobu. I was traveling for an event and they helped so much. I know he was very well cared for. They shared such cute photos too :)”
“Casey was absolutely amazing! We were in a last-minute pinch while attending Hersheypark and reached out less than an hour before we needed care for our two dogs. Not only did she respond quickly, but she was able to accommodate us on very short notice. She was incredibly friendly, caring, and loving with our dogs, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Casey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Finn seemed to be having a good time every time I got a photo!! Scott was very nice and I felt comfortable leaving Finn with them. Thanks for providing a safe space to stay!!”
“Dylan had an absolutely wonderful day with Michele, Nahla and Theo! Since it was his first day I was prepared to pick him up at noon time, but he was having so much fun he stayed until much later in the afternoon. We have already booked another full day in the very near future and I suspect this will be part of our routine! Michele is wonderful with animals and her dogs are happy, laid-back and great with those who come to play. I have absolutely no reservations about my beloved pup being with Michele and furry family members and give her an A+”

“Dan was a great find for a close daycare sitter for our Rooney. He sent a few pictures throughout the day to let us know she was acclimating well in a new place. Given the extra waggy tail and kisses she gave Dan when we were leaving - I know she enjoyed the day. Thanks so much!”
“Melissa is awesome and Diglett had a great time! Excellent communication and super responsive. Melissa sent me cute pictures during the day which I really appreciated. Definitely taking Diglett to Melissa again in the future.”
“Xada is so happy to go to doggy day care!! She is played out and the end of the day!!! Love the pictures of her play time! So happy to have someone reliable, trustworthy , VERSATILE and FUN!! 🐾🐾❤️”
“Amanda was quick to respond and answered all my questions. She was attentive to our puppy's needs and shared an update with us during the day. She was personable and treated our dog like one of her own. We would be happy to have her watch our puppy again!”
About: Hi! My name is Kristen and I've been a true animal lover my whole life. I've grown up having animals and I have a deep love for anything furry. I'm a happily married, stay at home mom to a toddler. We recently lost our special needs senior pup of 14 years. We miss him so very much. He was my everything. I truly understand loving your pet like a child and will treat them as such. I have 7 years of experience in veterinary medicine and know how to handle most pet emergencies calmly. References are available. I am looking to start pet care full time, as animals are my passion. I have open availability but can only work with dogs, as I'm allergic to cats. I can do walks, playtime, overnight boarding in my home, or day care. Senior pets are my specialty! I am looking to transition into full time pet care, as I now have the time as a stay at home mom! I am able to provide walks several times a day, and all day attention & love. We live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, where I can walk your pet several times a day. Our senior dog recently passed away and we miss having a pet in the home tremendously, but we aren’t ready to welcome a new personal pet just yet. Animals are welcome to sleep on furniture in my home and cuddle like I would my own animal. My home is their home while they’re with us. We have a 14 month old son, so your pet needs to be comfortable around children. He is good about not touching, but he is a typical toddler and makes noise throughout the day.
“Molly took amazing care of my Dallas and always sent me pics to update me on how he was doing! He is a puppy, so she did an amazing job at handling his energy well :) would 10/10 recommend booking her to watch your pup!”
“Rosa was very good with my dog missi. She sent me a lot of pictures throughout the day which was wonderful because I was able to know what my dog was up to she also responds very quickly which I thought was amazing. I can tell that my dog had a lot of fun and will definitely be sleeping good tonight.”

“Matt does an excellent job on walking my pup during the week. He has great communications letting me know when he is on his way and how things go on the walk with plenty of pictures.”
“Cassidy is an AMAZING walker for my Millie girl! She gives her all the love and I trust she’s in capable hands every day for her midday walk. Millie can be a bit of a puller/barker on walks and Cassidy handles her perfectly. She is a great communicator with anything going on (even random repair people showing up at my house). I so much appreciate the love she shows my baby.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner currently owned by three cats—Chewy, Peanut, and Tigger 😸 With 30+ years of hands-on animal care experience, I know every pet has their own personality, routines, and very specific opinions. I’m comfortable caring for cats and dogs with a variety of needs, including medical support—my cat Chewy has asthma, so I’m experienced with daily treatments and paying attention when something seems off. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes, from my own growing up to helping with my brother’s Great Dane. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll care for them with patience, reliability, and the same attention I’d want for my own pets. Since I work from home in Hummelstown, I have flexibility in my schedule that makes pet care a great fit. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can reliably stop by in the morning, during lunch, and after work for visits, walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’d rather provide consistent, attentive care to nearby pets than overextend myself. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines and feel safe in their own environment. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any little quirks or preferences that make your pet comfortable. Safety is very important to me, whether that means double-checking doors and gates, following leash safety, being mindful of food restrictions, or simply paying attention if a pet seems stressed or not acting like themselves. As a longtime pet owner—including caring for a cat with daily medical needs—I know how important attentiveness and consistency are. I also understand the trust involved in having someone care for your pets and enter your home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
“Siyani is absolutely AMAZING! My rescued pup is a reactive dog, and it’s usually very difficult for him to warm up to new people,!especially when it comes to walks or being cared for by someone new. But with Siyani, he felt safe right away!! She has such a calm, kind energy that made Toby comfortable and confident, which is something I honestly didn’t think I would find outside of our family. Finding someone who can handle a rescue pup with patience and love is rare, and Siyani has completely earned my trust. This experience gave me the peace of mind I needed, and now I know I’ve found my go-to sitter for Toby, not only for dog walks but also for when I travel. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“We have used Abby a few times now to watch our dog Penny when we travel. All of the other reviews are spot on, she is dependable, prompt and so good with our dog. Even when we sprung on her that medication had to be added to the food for a time! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abby.”
“Diana accepted a last minute request (day before). She came to pick up key that day and did meet ‘n greet with husband to get instructions. On day of walk, she was on time, called when our fickle front door stuck in the humidity. On the call, after the door opened, it was clear both her and Lizzy our maltipoo were excited to see each other. We got picture and walk info. She left the key in our drop mailbox as she left so we didn’t have to worry or track her down. Very professional! We would definitely book Diana again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. They have always been a major thing to me. I love being able to be the person people trust with their pets because I know how important people’s pets are to them. I have taken care of every animal under the sun! Dogs and birds are my personal favorite. I have my own dog named Loki! He is a black lab and border collie mix! I work part time and always have time to go home in the middle of my shift during break as well! I always make sure I give my pets and especially others pets the care they deserve I have a really sweet friendly puppy! He is a Labrador and border collie mix. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a huge walkway for nice long walks.
About: I have taken care of so many different types of animals, ranging in all ages. I have no boundaries with pets :)) I love them all so much and will love your baby like they’re my own. I work almost every weekday starting from between 3:30-5:30pm until as late as 8-10pm My availability is open otherwise and I can work around your schedule. I keep my eyes on the pet/s at all times when outdoors, and monitor as necessary in the house. I might as well be a helicopter (pet) mom.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’m a huge pet person. I find joy in meeting new animals and being able to spend my free time taking care of them. I love being able to help others so I’m always open to find any time I may have to help you with your pets when needed. FYI- I live 5 mins away from Hersheypark… bring your dog for to me for doggy daycare if you plan on taking a weekend/daytrip to Hershey or Hersheypark! I’m currently working full time. I pet sit and dog groom on the side of my full time job. Weekends is when I have the most time to spend with the dogs. During the week I still give them plenty of loving but it’s before work and after work due to my schedule. I will always make sure they are on a leash when outside if there is no fence. I can will take care of your dog in your house or mine whichever is prefered.
About: I was working in a Dog daycare for 5 years before I started my own business. In that time I also received my dog training certificate. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs in my time working with animals. Pet care is my full time job. All I need are the days you're looking for and I can add you onto my schedule. I also offer limited services on the weekends I travel to my clients for the services requested. Depending on the set up of the clients house determines how I go about looking after the animal. I always request that vet information be readily available just incase anything happens and I generally like to meet the animal first to make sure they are comfortable with me before I commit to working with them.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for my whole life. I’ve also taken care of small dogs in the past with good experiences with many of my family members asking me to come babysit for them. I currently have no other jobs. My schedule is pretty flexible with the exception of going away on vacations with my family. Just reach out!! While coming to give a service I will also spend them time to give the animal love and attention just as if the owners were at home.

We asked for pictures and Heather sent lots of pictures to comfort us knowing our girls were safe and well loved.”
